I wonder.....

I love the Christmas season, I think because I just love to give people things and see them smile. :o) Whatever the case may be,...I am thoroughly enjoying taking my truck full of items to donate knowing that a mother will soon walk in and find exactly what she needs for her kiddos. :o)

I've been thinking too,.....a lot!

Thinking about what Christmas will be like for a lot of families this year. I wonder how many parents will miss Christmas with their families all together because they are serving our country somewhere else. I wonder how many families will go without presents because money is tight. I wonder how many children will be in the hospital on Christmas day......and then I wonder,....."how can I make a difference"?

For the record, I've started by praying. I've also donated some extra items that I think someone will find very special. I'm working on some homemade goodies for friends and neighbors. And,....I'm helping my son with his annual 'Secret Santa Fund' for the local children's hospital.

Do you have any other ideas for me? What do you do for others around this holiday? I'd love to hear! :o)

About Me

I have the honor of being the wife to my best friend and the mother to eight beautiful children. This blog serves as my journal as I reflect on my past, as I live in the present, and as I plan for the future. I am a woman who loves Jesus Christ and who is in pursuit of glorifying God in all I do. I don't always succeed, but I will never stop trying. I believe that our world has become too focused on convenience, living comfortably, and 'easy buttons'. My daily focus is on living for Christ, loving everyone, and learning something new each day. I'm so thankful you've joined me on my journey, you are a blessing to me.
